Skyrim Console Add Magic Effect: How to Apply Special Effects and Perks to Your Items



Weapons made through the console will always have about 11.5 charges(regardless of enchanting level), and can be recharged. Some effects don't require charges unless grouped with an effect that does require charges. When used on weapons some MGEF are toggled on hit(first hit= on,second hit= off), like improved nighteye.


Using the console command 'dispelallspells' works, but I don't want to use this because I have a lot of other effects, partly from mods, and I don't want to add them all manually again, and I am unsure about this command and its effects in general.

I also wondered how they get certain visual magic effects (like the effects you see when you scroll to the magic menu abilities and choose a magic ability). Yet they would have those same effects mounted on something for decoration.


As I mentioned in the comments, I think the particular effect you see in the menus does not have a mesh, so it can't be selected using the console, hence neither by mods, meaning the mod authors used the Creation Kit to place the effects.


This page includes PC Console Commands and Cheats for the PC/Steam version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It has been updated to include Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Editions. Console Commands are an essential tool that players can use to enter cheats into the game. To enter Skyrim cheats into the PC Commands Console, hit (or the key above Tab) to bring up the developer console, and enter these codes for the desired effect. Console commands are NOT case-sensitive.


Adding magical effects to your weapons is called enchanting, and it is actually one of the more difficult skills to learn in the game. While it is not as complicated or as much guesswork as alchemy, it does require that you destroy an enchanted piece of armor or weapon. Until you disenchant something, you will not be able to use the particular type of enchantment on your own weapons (or armor).


The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is replete with plenty of subtle magical effects and obscure blessings for the Dragonborn to take advantage of. However, many of them are locked away behind various quests and obscure conditions, making it entirely unlikely for a given player to encounter all of them over the course of a casual playthrough.


After cleaning up a few prerequisite errands, the Dragonborn can take on the quest entitled "Tending the Flame," in which they'll retrieve an old book, make up some lines for an epic poem, and attend a radical bonfire party. Afterward, they'll be a full member of the Bards College and possess this underrated magical effect.
